Look at those lawyers behind, each one’s face turning green from the cold, yet no one dares to run around randomly. Isn’t the contrast too stark? Is this the world of the top attorneys?

The courtroom doors have already opened, the clerk is bustling around inside, and Old Tang, with Wang Wenyan in tow, enters and sits in the plaintiff’s seat.

It wasn’t long before the courtroom door was pushed open again, and a fierce-looking man walked in, followed by a girl who seemed like an assistant.

That man was Pan Youyun. After entering, he glanced at Old Tang without speaking, but felt extremely upset inside.

In Pan Youyun’s view, this Tang earned money hand over fist, and others like him had to bleed heavily just to sip a bit of the broth. What the hell!

Is the business of law only for you lawyers to feast on, and we can’t even have a taste?

However, these thoughts he only dared to keep to himself; he still didn’t have the courage to say it in front of Tang Fangjing.

After a little while, the panel of judges arrived, and the Presiding Judge, who was an acquaintance of Old Tang, quickly began the proceedings.

“Now, do either parties wish to consider mediation?” the Presiding Judge asked casually.

He was really just following procedure with his question, as this case was unlikely to be settled through mediation. The judges from Bright District were all too familiar with Tang Fangjing, and quite thoroughly at that.

Upon hearing this, Pan Youyun shouted out, “Judge, I want to mediate, I want to mediate.”

The Presiding Judge was taken aback. He really wasn’t keen on mediating; if you could meet Tang Fangjing’s demands, it wouldn’t have ended up in court in the first place.

But since the party involved wanted to mediate, he could only proceed with the steps.

“Then let’s begin with pre-trial mediation. Plaintiff, what about your side?”

Old Tang was non-committal: “Sure, mediate. As long as he can compensate my client with triple the original amount, then I accept mediation.”

The aim was just one thing: money. Whether through a verdict or mediation, money was what mattered.

Wang Wenyan, by his side, trembled at these words. When she first learned that Lawyer Tang was preparing for a triple compensation, she was stunned; she couldn’t even dream that they would demand so much money!

Initially, she thought that recovering a portion would suffice, after all, that lawyer did do some work.

It was too thrilling; no wonder everyone in Jingzhou who goes to court wants to hire Tang Fangjing. The feeling is truly exhilarating.

The Presiding Judge looked towards Pan Youyun and asked, “Defendant, what are your thoughts?”

“Judge, this… no matter how you calculate it, it’s impossible for us to compensate threefold. We’ve already entrusted a lawyer with the case and have paid them a portion; we only earned ten thousand,” he argued.

“Now, asking us to fork out eighty thousand is impossible; that’s asking too much of us!”

However, Pan Youyun quickly realized his words were a bit too blunt and hurriedly added, “It’s not like we won’t compensate at all; we can afford to pay some…”

Yet, Old Tang directly interrupted him: “So the defendant’s meaning is, they can’t meet my requirements, then why bother mediating? Let’s go straight to trial.”

The Presiding Judge, the other members of the collegiate bench, and the clerk weren’t surprised by this development; that’s how Tang Fangjing is, and they weren’t going to try and persuade him.

Because persuading would be in vain anyway, not to mention they’d get a retort from Tang Fangjing. His tongue is truly sharp—he insults without cursing, so it’s best to leave it be.

Pan Youyun was about to explode. He was already short-tempered, but now he could only endure and said: “Lawyer Tang, please, I’m begging you, making money isn’t easy for us…”

“That’s your excuse for fraud? That’s your justification for guaranteeing victories in lawsuits at will? Enough with the sob story; it won’t work on me. Let’s just proceed as we should,” Old Tang said outright.

“Lawyer Tang, I know you have a bias against our legal consultation firms, but we are also just trying to make a living, we’re all just trying to survive, really…”

Old Tang on the other side really didn’t want to engage with him; if it wasn’t for the fact that he had already collected a lot of evidence, he might actually feel pity for him.

But remembering the evidence he had gathered, Old Tang truly didn’t want to talk. To still claim it’s for survival, maybe one day those who use the criminal law as a “Wealth Encyclopedia” can also say we’re all just trying to live as well.

So, he directly said to the Presiding Judge: “Comrade Judge, since the other side finds it difficult, let’s not bother with it, let’s proceed to trial as soon as possible.”

The Presiding Judge nodded, then responded: “Defendant, if this is your condition, then mediation is certainly not possible, and we need to proceed to trial promptly.”

Pan Youyun’s face turned very ugly, looking at Tang Fangjing across from him, staring at that expressionless face, he felt even more furious!

Last time, just for riding a wave of popularity, he was sued and publicly shamed online; all the long-established social media accounts of the company were ruined.

Having lost money and apologized profusely, he had just managed to put that incident behind him.

And now, after such a short time, he was targeted by Tang Fangjing again!

Finally, Pan Youyun couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood up and slammed the table: “Tang Fangjing, you’re going too damn far! Just for ten thousand, you demand eighty thousand from me; who do you think you are!”

“I’m telling you, others may fear you, but I don’t. It’s just a lawsuit; bring it on. I’m not the least bit scared, our company doesn’t even have that much money in the accounts. Sue all you want!”

“You’re the one who’s raking it in, so what, we legal consultation firm folks should just drop dead, right? Fuck you, you think you’re so tough, ready to throw people in jail at the drop of a hat, do it then, I’m not fucking scared of you!”
